Conquer the challenging Part 56 Rampages in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Get expert tips for the Pistol and Stubby Shotgun Rampages.

Alright, let's dive into Part 56 of our Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories journey. This section is all about Rampages, and some of them can be real head-scratchers, especially on the PSP. We've got two main challenges here: one with a pistol and another with a stubby shotgun. Let's break 'em down so you can get through them without pulling your hair out.

#[LTV-R16] - Execute 25 Cholos (Pistol)

This first Rampage, located between the fence and the north building at the Sunshine Autos Lot (Map F-2), tasks you with taking out 25 Cholos using a pistol. The key here is positioning and targeting. Stay within the parking lot; this prevents enemies from spawning behind you, and the nearby buildings and cars offer good cover if things get hairy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by targeting the Cholos who are also wielding pistols. Get rid of them first, as they pose an immediate threat.
  2. 2
    Once the armed Cholos are dealt with, move on to the ones with bats.
  3. 3
    Keep an eye on your surroundings and use the environment for cover whenever you're outnumbered or taking too much heat.
Tips
  • The main trick is to target enemies from behind if possible. While you're targeting a dead enemy, you can still swing your weapon (in this case, shoot) and hit nearby Cholos. This is especially useful for crowd control.
  • The game should spawn enough enemies to keep you busy, but if you find yourself running low, don't be afraid to reposition slightly within the lot to draw them out.
  • Avoid getting cornered at all costs. If too many converge on you, use the cover and pick them off one by one.

#[LTV-R17] - Kill 40 Cholos (Stubby Shotgun) - (Little Havana)

This next Rampage, found on top of Guano's Cafe in Little Havana (Map E-2), is a real beast. You need to kill 40 Cholos with a Stubby Shotgun. The location is a bit tricky to get to, so follow these directions carefully.

Directions:

  1. Head to the Miatma Theater.
  2. Go south along the road.
  3. Pass through the next three-way intersection. You'll see an open area with palm trees to your right.
  4. Go southwest through this open area until you reach the southwest corner.
  5. You'll find a ramp there; go to the top of it and turn left to find the Rampage pickup.

Walkthrough:

  • This weapon has a very short range, meaning you *have* to get down into the thick of it with the Cholos. There's no hanging back.
  • The shotgun is incredibly powerful up close, so one shot can often take down an entire group. The main challenge is the slow reload time.
  • You'll need to be aggressive but smart. Try to line up shots so you can hit multiple enemies with each blast.

PSP Version Specifics & Tips:

  • Hardest Rampage? This one is notoriously difficult on the PSP due to hardware limitations. The game might not spawn enough enemies to complete the task within the time limit. You might find yourself constantly running around trying to find targets.
  • Ambulance Trick: If an Ambulance shows up and starts reviving your fallen enemies (EMS personnel), stick close! Let them revive the Cholos so you can kill them again. This is a huge help for reaching the 40-kill target.
  • Target Switching: When dealing with groups, quickly switch between targets using the D-Pad. This helps you keep track of who's attacking you and prevents you from wasting time on a single enemy when others are closing in.
  • Wanted Level Warning: Getting a Wanted Rating automatically fails this Rampage. If Cholos see you get a star, they'll start running from you because the cops are coming, making it impossible to finish.
  • Dealing with Wanted Level: If you get a Wanted Rating, your best bet is to leave the area immediately. Go somewhere safe to let the stars disappear, replenish your Body Armor and Health, and then come back to try the Rampage again. Don't try to push through it; it's a guaranteed failure.
  • Patience is Key: This Rampage will likely take multiple tries, especially on the PSP. Don't get discouraged. Use the tips above, learn the enemy spawn points, and you'll eventually get it done.
